Chapter 535: Chapter 352 Special C Position_2

"There’s a description on this jar. It says the sand inside was collected from the area where the meteor burst apart. The sand was randomly packed, so who knows if there’ll be any meteorite fragments to pick out of it."

"This exploratory version of star sand... oh! This stuff mixed with all sorts of impurities is called ’star sand’!"

At this point, the streamer couldn’t help but laugh.

"Rumor has it, er... I don’t know if it’s true, but the origin of this ’star sand,’ supposedly, came about when a group of meteorite hunters saw Feng Yi picking pebbles from the sand. They had an epiphany right then and there, each one grabbing a huge bag and furiously shoveling sand. Then, in a stroke of genius, they came up with an idea!"

"And that’s how this product came to be, um... a local specialty from Tuo Jia Town."

"Yes, that’s right, it’s that Feng Yi you all know! The one who’s really good at catching snakes... How would I know if he goes to the desert to catch snakes... I’m not trying to ride his coattails, I’m just sharing what I know."

As the streamer talked about the origin of the sand, he brought the glass jar close to the camera:

"Everyone look carefully, bear witness for us, this hasn’t been unsealed!"

"Looking at this yellow sand full of impurities, I always feel like I’ve been had. Every time I pay the stupidity tax, I get a similar feeling."

"But as soon as this exploratory version went on sale, it sold out quickly. Even our company’s employees had to scramble to get just one jar, which was airmailed with an additional fee. We just received it."

"Once again, let me clarify, from the moment we opened the packaging, everything has been done under your watchful eyes!"

"First, I’ll pour the sand onto this platform and spread it out..."

The streamer picked through the sand, eventually isolating a few small black dots, gritty as gravel, barely counting ten in total.

He himself couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

"I have a feeling this is quite unreliable."

He took a magnifying glass and examined each closely.

"After looking at them, they seem even less reliable."

Four more were discarded.

Only six black pebbles remained in the small white dish.

"Alright, based on the identification guide I found online, these seem more likely. The rest will have to be left to the machines."

"I don’t know if any of these six are real, maybe none of them are."

"We’re sending all six for testing. If they turn out to be real, they won’t be coming back. The entire packing process is on camera, everyone keep an eye out, we haven’t missed a single one... The four we sifted out? Oh come on! You think I’d hoard them? Fine, I’ll take photos and post them on social media!"

An assistant added, "Even ordinary meteorite fragments can be returned."

Streamer: "Oh right, if they’re ordinary meteorites, they can come back. But if it’s proven to be a fragment of ’that meteor’ blasted by aliens... cough cough, the one of significant scientific value, then it has to be handed over."

Someone in the comments asked about the testing fee.

Streamer: "The testing fee? Oh, I heard that if it’s confirmed to be a fragment of that meteor, the testing fee is waived. You even get some points. Points are great, right? They can be used for buying a house, household registration, tax declarations, professional titles, and such."

Afterward, the streamer packed the items, sealed them with tape, and then left the house, driving directly to the nearest testing facility.

Indeed, the entire process was on camera.

Content creators are desperate for survival—they can use this to get traffic, but any suspected meteorite fragments have to be sent for testing.

Feng Yi looked at the view count for his live streaming room, hardly believing it.

Is it really that popular?

He compared the viewer numbers from this streamer’s broadcasts in the past few days to today’s.

Can there really be so many people interested in picking stones out of sand?

He checked the shopping platform for the exploratory star wish bottles, noticing the sold-out sign and the number sold.

Can people really be willing to spend so much money on sand?

Is it a personal pleasure? Or are they gambling with the hope of finding a meteorite to sell for money?

While Feng Yi was pondering, he received another message from Feng Chi.

Feng Chi: [Bro! Are you still in Tuo Jia Town?!]

Feng Yi: [Yeah, what’s up?]

Feng Chi: [I need a star wish bottle filled with star sand! There’s too many fakes online! And they’re sold out!]

Feng Yi: [... Alright, I’ll see what I can do.]

After a moment’s thought, Feng Yi sent another message: [Is this stuff really hot right now?]

Feng Chi: [It’s okay, there’s a lot of buzz. A few friends and I made a group; we’re competing to see who’s lucky enough to find a real meteorite!]

Feng Yi never imagined that this sand would become a national craze, no, there were even international requests for purchasing!

He hadn’t packed much sand himself; his main focus was on the meteorite fragments, while Jia had been digging for the housekeeper.

If he wanted more sand, he’d have to talk to Wen Zhiyu and Pan Weining.

The two were busy from early in the morning. To pack the sand conveniently without dirtying the room, they carried the sandbags to the indoor greenhouse on the second floor.

This house hadn’t been lived in for a long time, so even though the greenhouse was built, it was empty without a plant in sight.

The curtains were drawn to prevent any peeping from the outside.

They had noticed that some media teams even brought drones today, who knows if they were filmed?

This matter couldn’t be made public.

The two were packing sand when Feng Yi walked over.

"Do you guys have any extra sand here?"

Wen Zhiyu said, "How much do you need? Just shovel it yourself."

Pan Weining pointed to an open sandbag: "Everything is on the side; just scoop out however much you need."

Wen Zhiyu chuckled, "Did someone ask you for it?"

Feng Yi replied, "A cousin."
